Frimpong announced his retirement last month at the age of 27 although he had decided to quit long before. Like many teams in the top half, they are in a transaction, as both Spurs and Arsenal fans will want to see their teams secure Champions League football at the very least this term. He feels “that was a problem” early in his career and perhaps it was exacerbated by the fact he offered so much of himself. His return to the country of his birth last year came partly because he knew his time was up. It was some capitulation from Spurs on Sunday because everyone, including those in Claret & Blue, felt the game was done and dusted as it was entering into the final ten minutes. Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong seemingly enjoyed Tottenham losing a 3-0 lead over the weekend as he shared his reaction on Instagram. For now he is happy with his lot and offers no frustration at the ill luck that meant his star burned so briefly. “If things are to change then the committees need to be full of people with different backgrounds. I’m just a human being like anybody else. You’d think: ‘My God, I need to get out of here’. How would you feel if you came to Africa, full of black people, and were abused? Club career. He describes an existence spent largely watching television while his two‑year‑old daughter, Emmanuella, is at playschool and, for someone who never had too much trouble courting attention, the appeal of settling into the background has been surprisingly seductive. As far as he was concerned there was no harm in pursuing other hobbies provided he had trained hard earlier in the day but, in a world of harsh social media judgment, it was clear not everybody saw things that way. Away from football Frimpong became synonymous with the catchphrase “Dench” and for his collaborations, in music and a line of clothing, with his close friend Lethal Bizzle. He had made 16 appearances for Arsenal but, for a time in the 2011‑12 season, seemed on course to succeed in a way that he says he had never considered during those academy days. There has been no fall-out; life has just changed in the decade since they were FA Youth Cup winners together and the only former teammate with whom he regularly communicates is Alex Song, who plays in Switzerland for Sion. Life used to move at 100 miles an hour when Frimpong arrived on the scene at Arsenal, or at least it often seemed that way to those in his orbit, but things are different now. “You honestly wouldn’t want to know.” Emmanuel Frimpong laughs when asked how, now that playing football is no longer an option, he spends his days. “I was raised to be respectful to my elders and everyone else, but at the same time I was raised not to take my life too seriously and to have fun,” he says. The way Liverpool “fight, run, hassle and dig out results when they shouldn’t really be competing with City” also attracts him and he can speak from experience about another topic that pervades the headlines. At Arsenal’s training ground his boisterousness could fill a room. His propensity to shoot from the hip via Twitter had already landed an FA fine when, in October 2013, he was angry after being left out of a League Cup tie against Chelsea. An energetic, box-to-box presence, the midfielder made 16 appearances for Arsene Wenger's side having struggled with injuries as he looked to break into the first team.

Emmanuel Frimpong, pictured during his Arsenal playing career, announced his retirement last month at the age of 27. Arsenal fans will love his message, as Frimpong wrote ‘best 30-second video of the week’, as he included a number of laughing emojis with his message. “The point that all those at the top – Fifa, Uefa, whoever makes the decisions – are white men,” he says. To close a submenu press the escape key. Most of these people have never been racially abused; they don’t know what it feels like so any punishment they give comes from their world, not understanding the black person’s point of view. “I just couldn’t put a pattern of games together.

An integral part of the 2009 FA Youth Cup-winning side, he made his first-team debut at Newcastle on the opening day of the 2011/12 season – making a fine first start against Liverpool the following week.

Countries can get fined €10,000 for racist chanting and it’s embarrassing.”. I’d be coming home and putting ice on my knee, my ankle, everywhere.
